It seems gypsies marry early. I am not surprised. Mexicans are considered adults at fifteen. Western media paints minorities of the age as adults whenever they commit crimes but call their race minors when they do the same.

Happy married life to her. She won’t regret. With the consideration that one is adult, the person will act accordingly. Many twenty-four year olds here act like teenagers because society sees them as children.

Lol...It's a photo skit. Mai Wushirya is a popular notorious northern content creator who is always having trouble with Hisba in Kano. In fact, as I'm typing this, he has been declared wanted by Kano Hisba because of how he manhandled this lady during this photo skit

This has been explained many times and Obi himself has unusually taken to correction and given a semblance of apology/explanation.

Obi's son, Oseloka cannot be calling his mother dear sister, just because she's about 17years older than him. Obi is 17years younger than the Olubadan.

Both Atiku and president Tinubu are closer in age to the Olubadan, and have been his seniors politically. The President and former VP are no 1 and no 2 positions in the nation. Moreover, as senators, senator Tinubu was a higher ranking senator than him.
In practice and life, the trio have been close friends for decades. The same is not applicable to Obi.

Peter obi should learn decorum. You will see a 20 year old boy become a king in the east or south south and 80 year old obasanjo would prostrate for that 20year old boy. It's the stool you are respecting not the man.

Jagaban and atiku are kings too so they can call him brother. The wazinrin of adamawa and the jagaban of borgu

I have never seen disrespectful being as this economical refugees, notices to quit the government land have been served for over 5 years, they are more than 5 warnings this year already but always want to double dare the government, thinking your gaslighting Abi victim mentality tactics will work??

We're Not Your Wives, Stop Using Us As Bedmates– Rev'd Sister Tells Priests, Exposes Sexual Harassment in Catholic Church

Rev’d Sr. Kinse Anastasia of Veritas University, Abuja, has raised alarm on social media, accusing some Catholic priests and church authorities of sexually harassing and maltreating Reverend Sisters.

According to her, Sisters are often demeaned and reduced to “ornaments in Habits,” treated as though their sole purpose is to satisfy priests’ desires.

She revealed that some priests even go as far as telling them that “Sisters are meant to be priests’ wives,” a claim they act upon without shame.

Anastasia also alleged that many Church leaders deliberately silence Sisters and make them vulnerable, while some superiors misuse their positions of authority.

However, she did not spare Sisters who compromise their vows, warning that such actions weaken the dignity of consecrated life.

In her words, “Religious Sisters are not priests’ wives. We are not bedmates. We are women of God. The Church must do better because God is watching.”

Obi and his people go still carry strong head for the matter, and dem they find votes oh. Votes wey no fit complete.
Imagine me your mate, working with someone the mate of your father and I start calling him dear brother. It's not african or Nigerian. Perhaps Gen Alpha, but Obi is not Gen Alpha and should know better. Exercise some emotional intelligence.

Oba Ladoja is slightly older than Atiku and president Tinubu, and they have worked together as friends since as far back as 1990.
Oba Ladoja and President Tinubu were both senators in 1990, and Tinubu was senior in rank.

Also they served together as close governors, with governor Tinubu helping governor Ladoja, even in time of distress. This is open national knowledge. Now, Tinubu is president. Tinubu and Atiku have both been close friends and superiors to Oba Ladoja.

It's incomparable to Obi who was coincidence governor in 2006 with them. The relationship is not same. Oseloka Obi cannot be calling his mother, dear sister. She's about 17 years older than him. Or what do i know, he does?

I don't know if this has been discussed, but it's something I think most would want to know about.

The city of Detroit has this land bank, and you can buy houses for as little as $500 or $1000 (USD). The reason it exists is because the city had a rough time economically, and many people left. This resulted in tons of abandoned homes, which became violent drug dens. After a high profile crime, a millionaire partnered with the city to buy up these places and offer them cheap, so the right sorts of people could acquire them and revitalize the area.

These homes are obviously not in pristine condition, so it's only for people who either can do carpentry/electrical/plumbing/HVAC, or who have friends/family that will do it/help for a fraction of the cost. But it's worth it because you can rehab these places for like $30,000 (give or take) and you'll have a 2-4 bedroom house or rental property with no mortgage.

These neighborhoods are not as dangerous as you would think, but you do have to be concerned about things like people stealing building materials out of the place while you're renovating. So that means you would have to sleep in it while you do work. However, Detroit people are some of the most welcoming and appreciative people. They truly are thankful to see good people come into the community and fix up these houses.

Now, I wouldn't say the Detroit job market is amazing, but there are opportunities and things are definitely improving. Lots of people are coming to the area and it's experiencing significant growth. There are some other trade-offs because it's the Midwest, a smaller city, and etc. But that's a matter of personal preference. Not my style, but some people would love it (especially if you work remotely and have a pretty good salary).

Here's the official website of the city's land bank: https://buildingdetroit.org/

Also, there's other places that have a similar program, but I think those places have more competition with commercial investors, and not quite as many properties in decent areas. Still worth a look though.

There's a popular tv show that shows what this is like. They show everything except the financial part, like having to rip off the side of the house and cleaning excrement off the walls. Now, these guys spend significantly more than needed (interior design) because they're trying to sell properties. But most people don't need all that, whether living in it or using it as a rental. If you just "white box" it and throw some flooring down, you don't need to spend what they do:

It's harder to find properties this cheap anymore because people are jumping on these houses.

Did you know that even after the September 11, 2001 plane hijacking incident that happened in New York City, USA where almost 3000 people died, there have been other cases of hijacking still going on but at minor scale?

The event of September 11 has helped tremendously to tighten security in the aviation industry, thus hijackers find it difficult to break through.

But before 2001, cases of plane hijacking were common as terrorists preferred to take their fight to the skies.

History cannot be eroded.

The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, has stirred controversy by rejecting the long-held belief that Ile-Ife is the cradle of the Yoruba people. Speaking during a chieftaincy ceremony at his palace in Iwo, Osun State, the monarch insisted that Ife does not reflect the true culture and history of the Yoruba race. Eyes Of Lagos reports,


Oluwo’s Argument: Language and Cultural Differences

According to Oba Akanbi, the language spoken in ancient Ife differs significantly from contemporary Yoruba.


“Ife is not the origin of the Yoruba race. Those people don’t speak our language. Their language is different. They refer to God as Eledumare, and there is nothing like Eledumare in the Yoruba language. What we have is Olodumare,” the Oluwo stated.

He further pointed out certain terms that, in his view, demonstrate a cultural divide:

“Ife people will always say Olofin, and if you ask them the meaning, they will tell you it means the owner of the palace. What that means in Yoruba is Alaafin. Ile-Ife has no Yoruba culture,” he added.

Iwo: Keeper of True Yoruba History

Oba Akanbi described himself as the “Arole Olodumare” (representative of God) and claimed that Iwo preserves the authentic Yoruba history that is not widely documented.

“I am here to tell you the true history. Iwo is where you can get the real history that was not even documented,” he emphasized, urging his subjects to preserve his words as part of Yoruba heritage.

The monarch also expressed fearlessness in speaking the truth:

“Whatever I am telling you now, you must keep it because death can come anytime. I am not scared of death because it is inevitable.”



Renewed Disputes Over Yoruba Titles

Oba Akanbi’s remarks come amid ongoing disagreements among Yoruba traditional rulers concerning historical interpretation and the authority to confer titles.

Recently, tensions arose between the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, and the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Akeem Owoade, over a chieftaincy title allegedly awarded to Ibadan businessman Chief Dotun Sanusi. The Alaafin demanded its revocation within 48 hours, but the Ooni’s palace dismissed the threat, stating the matter had been left “to the court of public opinion.”


Conclusion

The Oluwo of Iwo’s controversial statement has reignited debates over the origins of the Yoruba people and which city truly preserves their cultural legacy. While Ile-Ife has long been celebrated as the historic cradle of Yoruba civilization, Oba Akanbi’s declaration positions Iwo as a critical custodian of Yoruba history.

Tinubu was the smart strategist that made the coalition successful in 2014. I haven't seen such a caliber in this so called coalition.

In 2014 their goal was to make Buhari president, but this present coalition's goal is for all of them to be president which is impossible, therefore there's nothing Tinubu should lose sleep for.

I saw a YouTube video of a woman on phrakleen channel. She's based in the UK but operating a poultry egg business in ogun state. Her concept is so beautiful and worth studying.
You can check phrakleen channel on YouTube, I think the title is managing and running a 15,000 birds poultry in Nig. She has CCTV to monitor daily operations and the buyers of the eggs and suppliers of the feed deal directly with her online. Very beautiful and possible concept.

Also, you can try a long term farming projects. I saw something like that also on YouTube. Check online. Sending of salvaged vehicles as the op above stated is also a good business because repairs will be far cheaper and easier in Nig abroad. Good day
